What a demolition exercise is that going in this poor country again? Civic education is still much more needed in this gambia. I don't know much about your military degree or what ever legislation passed by the parliament before this regim. I know that even in the developed countries people are reminded about certain constrains of the the government every here and then especially land acquisition; a mighty investment for the developing society where the government and private property cannot be easily differentiated. Government people please improve our standard of living in the aspect of land ownership. We are tired of been discraced from our homes.

This is an absolute shame. I beleive that a government that is being elected by the people should as a matter of must, be serving the peoples' interest but unfortunately this is not the case. What was the demolition exercise all about anyway and who ordered for it? As the article did not state. But whatever the case i think it would have been best to inform those affected well in advance as to give the enough time for them to resettle else where rather. What an obsolete manner of adressing issues, well it don't doubt me at all. I know for a fact that as long as we continue to have Yaya Jammeh and the APRC in charge, things like this would never be history.
